Tangen

Untuk kegunaan lain, lihat Tg dan TG.

Tangen (lambang tg, tan; bahasa Belanda: tangens; bahasa Inggris: tangent) dalam matematika adalah perbandingan sisi segitiga yang ada di depan sudut dengan sisi segitiga yang terletak di sudut (dengan catatan bahwa segitiga itu adalah segitiga siku-siku atau salah satu sudut segitiga itu 90^o).

Berdasarkan segitiga pada ilustrator (di kanan), berdasarkan definisi tangen, di atas maka nilai tangen adalah

$\tan A={{\mbox{a}} \over {\mbox{b}}}\qquad \tan B={{\mbox{b}} \over {\mbox{a}}}$

Nilai tangen positif di kuadran I dan III dan negatif di kuadran II dan IV.

Hubungan tangen dengan kotangen:

$\cot A={\frac {1}{\tan A}}\,$

Hubungan nilai tangen dengan nilai sinus dan kosinus

$\tan A={\frac {sinA}{cosA}}\,$

Nilai tangen sudut istimewa
